Hi I am facing an issue with my GlusterFS setup. Here is the detailed description of the issue. I would appreciate any prompt help. ___________________________________________________________________________
Same question posted at StackOverflow.com at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23010305/glusterfs-mounted-volume-not-accessible-from-windows-through-samba Requirement Creating a replicated shared drive with GlusterFS and have it accessible in Windows ActiveDirectory with the UNC path. PS: All our servers are windows and in a single domain. Only GlusterFS servers are linux. What I've achieved so far I have setup GlusterFS with: - Two gluster nodes (GlusterFS: ver 3.3.2 - OS: CentOS release 6.4) - A replicated volume (gvol1). - gvol1, mounted on both the nodes (say at /mnt/gvol1). Working FINE till this point. Any file created in the mounted volume (on any node) is replicated to the volume (and the underlying brick) on both the nodes. I have ALSO installed and configured SAMBA on both the nodes. Joined both the machines to our windows domain. This looks FINE too. I had success with these tests: - AD authentication - SUCCESS - Sharing a folder from linux through SAMBA. And accessing through windows machines. - SUCCESS Problem When I try to share the GlusterFS vol (mounted at /mnt/gvol1 on both the gluster nodes) through SAMBA. This is what happens: - VIEWING the shared gluster volume in windows through UNC path (i.e. 'gvol1shared' is visible in \gnode1) - SUCCESS - *ACCESSING the shared gluster volume in windows through UNC (i.e. opening \gnode1\gvol1shared) - FAILED* I have tried various things but had no luck with this. *Note:* I believe while testing GlusterFS couple of months ago, I did a work around for this issue. Instead of sharing the 'mounted volume' (i.e. /mnt/gvol1) through SAMBA, I shared the brick on one of the glusternodes (i.e. say /export/gluster/brick1). *And I believe it worked. BUT Now when I write anything directly to the brick it doesn't replicate it to other bricks.* So, I'm confused and doubt that it worked in first place. Or I need to change something to get this working too. -- Thanks Tariq
